Guitarist

GRETSCH G2215-P90 STREAMLINE­R JR JET CLUB

- Price: £370 Website: www.gretschgui­tars.com

We ordered this guitar just so we could perform surgery on it for The Mod Squad, and it turned up ready to go in considerab­le style. It’s a rare fully solid slab-bodied bolt-on from Gretsch, made from nato, with a boutique-style pickupmism­atch that pairs a Broad’Tron BT-2S humbucker at the bridge with a P90 Soap Bar single coil in the neck position. But what particular­ly impressed us was the rather good build with a ‘Thin U’ profile neck – that’s much more shallow C than its spec suggests – supplied with a very tidy setup. “It’s a lot of guitar, with plenty of potential,” we said. “A grab-and-go axe that won’t break the bank. Game on!”
